Malarial lung: report of a case from Africa successfully treated with intermittent positive pressure ventilation.

We describe the first recorded case from Africa of malarial lung, acute pulmonary insufficiency in Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The patient was successfully treated with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). There was heavy parasitemia, preceding cerebral complications and rapid onset of pulmonary edema in the absence of fluid overload or cardiac failure. A further complication of polyuria from tubular dysfunction developed whilst the patient was being ventilated. IPPV may have an important place in the management of this rare and usually fatal complication of falciparum malaria.

Pulmonary embolism in the Rhodesian Black.

Pulmonary embolism is less frequent in Blacks than in Whites. Deep vein thrombosis is probably not uncommon in Blacks, but relatively few of them develop pulmonary embolism. Postoperative pulmonary embolism in Blacks is probably far less common than in Whites. We are dealing with a relatively young Black population, compared with the White one, and therefore more cases might be expected among the Black population as its life expectancy improves.
